Aptera Awe
Date: May 28, 2008 | Category: Lifestyle, Tech, Transport, ecoMan
Mrs. Jetson, your vehicle awaits. Well, not quite yet. And only if you live in California. Splendora turned us on to the Aptera, a three-wheeled enclosed motorcycle, scheduled to go into production in late 2008, that certainly looks like it could be the vehicle of the future. It performs that way too: Aptera, which means “wingless flight”, can go from 0-60 in under 10 seconds (ok, so the Tesla smokes it, but wait for the price) and the hybrid version recently test-drove at 230 miles to the gallon (an all-electric version is in the works as well). Aptera promises comfy seating for two plus an infant seat (for up to 3 years of age) as well as plenty of storage space. This aerodynamic amazement will set you back between 26 and 30 grand, but it’ll be worth every penny when you fly past the 4+ dollars per gallon pumping station!

My partner, Ed has been drooling over this car for a while (it looks amazing), but unfortunately it’s not going to be available in Toronto. We’ll have to wait for the Volt…
